The object was a blue paper plate flipped upside down. It had four corners of decorative plate paper, with the rounded edges lined up with the end of the plate, they formed an x. Then they had four squares of different color index cards so the lined up and overlapped to make a plus. There were star stickers on the edge of the plate and a bow at the 12 o’clock position pointing away from you. There were stickers on the 9 and 3 o’clock index cards. The also had gogley eyes. There were stickers holding up two pipe cleaners with beads on them.
The bag of items given to the doers was shown to the writers. There were ‘dummy objects’, or objects that weren’t to be used in the bag.
8 pieces were left out of the instructions and we still placed 4th.
